@SeahawksQueen Eff around with the O-line, let Sam get brutalized in the first half, and start 2 RB that haven't played. That's what you're gonna get.
Off-putting decisions.

@LarsHanson Is Grady still on the team?
Punter did kicko$s.

@themaryone1 Two middling teams battling.
Brown should have been UW QB from the start.

@gbellseattle @thenewstribune @mcclatchy @SandoNFL @DaveBoling @TNTMcGrath @edubnfl22 @ManyHatsMilles McClatchy is a failing company. They put out 300-400 magazines each week to thousands of grocery stores to only sell 2% or less. The unsold/replaced magazines go into the TRASH hopper. Massive waste every week.

@Softykjr DiPoto is on an option with his contract isn't he?
I could see them cutting ties with him too. (Save money during lockout). Hollander I'm not sure of his contract status.
Cut the manager, front office, save $, and ride what the lockout will be.
Stanton was behind Dan going.

@CBSLosAngeles Hot dogs will be $20 and beer $30.

@SoftliSEA I agree. Cal was full of himself. Bad JuJu.

@nypost I've always been convinced she orchestrated it.

@erecasner It's beautiful, yes.
But the beauty is from forests burning.

@nypost Will there be a viewing at Trumps 250 state fair/yard sale thing?

@JoeNewberry The weather will be good. Ask where the best Dungeness crab is.....and it's Copper River salmon season.

Byron Allen out there overpaying for talent to get ratings.
Bring back Taylor Tomlinson.

@morgan_murphy @JustineBateman The Osbourne family is actively putting together an AI hologram thing that will give an "Ozzy conert experience". I think Ozzy would like that. 🤷‍♂️

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:

• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.

• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.
